Paint vs. Wallpaper: Which Is Right for Your Space?
When it comes to finishing your walls, paint and wallpaper both have their pros — but choosing between the two depends on your space, lifestyle, and design goals.
Paint
Pros:
- Easy to apply and touch up
- Endless color options
- Budget-friendly
- Great for subtle, timeless looks
Cons:
- Can show wear over time
- Limited in pattern or texture
- Needs more frequent refreshing
Wallpaper
Pros:
- Adds instant character and depth
- Perfect for accent walls or bold statements
- Durable and long-lasting
- Many texture and finish options
Cons:
- Harder to remove or replace
- Higher upfront cost
- Can be tricky in humid spaces (like bathrooms)
Cornerstone Tip:
If you’re after flexibility, paint keeps things simple and easy to change.
If you’re craving personality and texture, wallpaper can transform a room from plain to polished.
